The partnership will include advertising on Pollacheck's entry for this weekend's event at Route 66 Raceway near Joliet, Ill.

Pollacheck merchandise will also be available at a souvenir trailer on the midway, as well as at petrolheadapparel.com.

After a career-best sixth place finish last year, Pollacheck is off to a strong start in 2014. Through the first five events of the season, he has a runner-up, a semifinal and a quarterfinal finish. Pollacheck enters Joliet as the sixth-ranked rider in the Pro Stock Motorcycle class and sits 23 points behind his teammate, Matt Smith.

The Petrolhead Apparel line is the result of a partnership between Ben Carey and Bill Windam. Australian native Carey, the lead guitarist for the band Lifehouse, is a motorsports fan and California-based Windham is also heavily into drag racing and motorcycles.
